A proposito di questo titolo

FASTING DAY 16: Extreme Fasters – When Devotion Becomes Dangerous Description: Simeon Stylites lived on top of a 50-foot pillar for 47 years. Every Lent, he reportedly fasted 40 days without food or water. Catherine of Siena, a Doctor of the Church, eventually ate nothing but the daily Eucharist until she died of starvation at age 33. In Day 16, we explore the dark side of fasting history: "anorexia mirabilis" (miraculous anorexia) and the moment when spiritual devotion crosses the line into self-harm [Source 8: 52-53, 376, 380]. We examine the stories of the Desert Fathers who ate only lentils and the medieval mystics who measured holiness by how much they could punish their bodies [Source 8: 53, 382]. We discuss why these extreme examples were held up as models of holiness for centuries, creating a dangerous standard where "more is better" [Source 8: 54, 383]. We also look at the biblical correction in 1 Timothy 4, which reminds us that God created food to be received with thanksgiving [Source 8: 386]. This episode is a necessary warning for modern believers. It challenges us to check our motives: is our fasting driven by a desire for God, or a need for control and pride? [Source 8: 384]. Join us to learn the warning signs of unhealthy fasting and why God wants your heart, not your destruction [Source 8: 54]. Keywords: Simeon Stylites, Catherine of Siena, anorexia mirabilis, extreme fasting, Desert Fathers, religious eating disorders, asceticism, history of fasting, fasting dangers, 1 Timothy 4.
